Yeah nice one Nicko very worthwhile investment especially if you need firewood. My advice would be get the best you can afford or just grab something cheapish then update down the track. Pro saws are much better but you get what you pay for and probably overkill for home use but sometimes why not. .
Would advice against anything with a quick chain tensioner or easy start keep it simple and old school i reckon. .

I just need something I can go up and collect firewood with mate. Dont need huge, just something that will enable me to collect reasonable timber mateQuote:

Thanks mate, I've seen the 360 for around 400-600 second hand, do you reckon that's reasonable? Or would they be flogged at that price. I honestly have no idea when it comes to chainsaws lolQuote:

Agreed, always a potential carbon glazed dodgey care gamble mate, best though to lateral thinking request a log cut or two trialled before taking home. Wood in theory only cover one issue, your expectations of unknown new true capability for such said saw under hands.
Why do folks sell second hand good saws?

@rusty_nail hey mate if you don't have a site rack for your saw then treat yourself and grab one of these from Aldi. Cheap and functional. Even if you only get a year our and of it you will be thankful for having it.

I had a Stihl 036 for many years & have had the MS362 I replaced it with for a number of years now. If you can get an 036 in good running order I reckon you'd have the better saw, although the MS362 is pretty good. Ms362 has flip caps & better anti vibration. 036 is a torque machine whereas the MS362 revs higher to get it's power. Both are 'professional' saws & as such have much better ergonomics than the farmboss range, which makes a diffrerence when out cutitng a few trailer loads of firewood.Quote:

So I saw this and could not resist
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...019/08/184.jpg
My local as said they had sold out quickly and had never stocked before. Needless to say they might become a standard item..
Given it's about 10mm it really is not an issue of quality, you are going to rip the head 9ff any 10mm before you wreck these.
Happy with this kit f0r the price.

Clever, but already a master at getting broken taps out - 30 yrs in the food industry working with SS, see all the trick the tradies use and there are a few. This one however sound damn smart. Might just pick one up myself - thanks!
So simple, so smart!Quote:

Yep, just bought me a set. excellent stuff.
Looking to buy a set of impact/drill driver, wrench for the old man, as fathers day is coming up
What are you looking for mate? How much to spend and how often/hard will it get used?Quote:

@rusty_nail in person is slowly converting me to Makita too for carpentry/building type gear is awesome for sure Daz, top score [emoji106][emoji106]
Truly not having a dig mate, just feel its worth putting out there to good hearted blokes potentially unbeknownst buying gear from pubs like the old days occurred.
Never steal/take away a blokes tools/livelihood, they were generally carpark pissheads that didn’t make it any further than the new icebox these days installed!

I reckon the only thing that I find negative about Makita is their batteries. I believe they only do a Max of 6ah, while Milwaukee have a 10Ah Monster and DeWalt do their flexvolt range. Makita need to pick up their game there, other than that I have never had any regrets about choosing Makita to start with

Yeah mate, i get ya for sure. It's tricky. Facebook marketplace is the new eBay and it's free to sellers and buyers. Heaps and I mean HEAPS of gear for sale.Quote:
